Question
Define linear objective function.

Answer

The linear function $Z =a x+b y$, where $a, b$ are constants, of which the maximization on minimization is to be done, is called a linear objective function. For example, $Z=500 x+125 y$ is a linear objective function. Here $x$ and $y$ are called decision variables.
